Chinese crooks behind one of the world's 'largest online scams' have duped 800,000 people from Europe and US into giving card details and personal data using fake designer goods stores

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 8, 2024
The ruse, dubbed by a British trading standards body as one of the largest scams of its kind ever, involves more than 75,000 websites bearing the logos of various high-end marques - from Nike to UNIQLO and Paul Smith to Cartier - that claim to sell cut-price merchandise. English versions of the sites are accompanied by duplicates in several European languages including French, German, Spanish and Italian, designed to dupe unsuspecting shoppers from the continent to North America. Though roughly two-thirds of them have now been deactivated, investigators believe more than 22,500 are still live and continue to trick bargain-hunting online shoppers. The Chinese group, labelled 'BogusBazaar' by SR Labs, is believed to have swindled millions of pounds, euros and dollars from their victims since it launched the first sites in 2015.

I wanted to return £12,000 of wedding clothes from Matches - but it went bust: SALLY SORTS IT

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 7, 2024
In early March, I purchased six outfits at a cost of about £12,000 from online fashion retailer Matches ahead of a family wedding. I planned to get everyone from the bridal party together in one place to try on the clothes and figure out what looks worked on whom. I chose to buy from Matches because it stocked brands that you can't otherwise find in the UK - and I felt confident that if the clothes weren't right, I could send them back under its 14-day quibble free returns policy. But a few days later I heard that its owner Frasers Group had put the firm into administration. The items were not suitable and needed to go back, but Frasers refused to take them.

Erik ten Hag's journalist ban has echoes of Sir Alex Ferguson's attempt to 'command' the media; the obnoxious ex-Man United boss snubbed the BBC for SEVEN YEARS, barred one author despite refusing to read his book and rioting with outrage over Veron

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 6, 2023
It was straight out of Sir Alex Ferguson's playbook. On Tuesday, Manchester United's press conference was banned four media outlets from Erik ten Hag's press conference because rumors that players are starting to revolt against the beleaguered boss. After United's communications chief Andrew Ward's drastic steps, Sky Sports, the Daily Mirror, ESPN, and the Manchester Evening News all found themselves on the wrong track. It was a relic of the Ferguson period, when the boss barred journalists and entire media organisations from his briefings with impunity. For Ferguson, it was an exercise in control and the conservation of it, the main difference between the Scot and Ten Hag was that he had the longevity and track record to back it up.

Sir Bobby Charlton is England's greatest footballer, but he was also a man of humility and humanity

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 13, 2023
IAN HERBERT OF MANCHESTER: They arrived to say their goodbyes to the country's best footballer, but Sir Bobby Charlton, a man of humility, self-effacement, and fundamental humanity - who was remembered yesterday as a blaze of light flooded the cathedral of the city that had become his life's. Memories brought some of football's greatest and good of players to tears as they spoke about him. Sir Bobby, the club's long-serving friend, who had helped guide the club through years of glory, briefly broke down when he talked to his 'dear and loyal friend' Sir Bobby, 'no surname needed.' To paint the most vivid image at a service honoring a sportsman the likes of which we may never see again, a young man who knew him as a grandfather, infusing his childhood with laughter and fun, but largely forgiving his rather average football skills.

Whether you're strictly tailored like Kate or deliberately over-sized like Meghan's, the result remains the same: fresh and vibrant, yet work-wear at its most regal.
